"I see the client - therapist relationship as a partnership. In our sessions we will explore your story, your strengths, struggles and losses together. Drawing upon a variety of theories, including relational, trans-personal and cognitive behavioral theories, I bring a creative and compassionate approach to my work with people. My specialties include working in the areas of dual diagnosis, grief and loss and adoption. With eight years working in the area of addiction and dual diagnosis, I understand that it takes time to change. I also work with family members and the family system around the addictive behavior."

"Are you experiencing a transition in your life--in a relationship, career, education, or life stage such as early adulthood or midlife? Are you overwhelmed and uncertain, feeling depressed, anxious, grief-stricken, resentful, conflicted, or confused? Change of all types stirs up unsettling feelings, including unresolved issues, memories and traumas. You might feel like you're always in "crisis-mode." When your feelings overwhelm you, they cloud your judgment and vision. Rather than being at their mercy, you can learn to allow your feelings to guide you, no matter how difficult the challenges you face."

"Finding the right therapist can be challenging. It takes courage to begin the process. Perhaps you're feeling stuck in some pattern that hasn't been working for a while. Or maybe you are going through a crisis period of change, loss, or emergency. Whatever it is, sometimes we just need time and space with someone who can listen, really hear us, and occasionally ask the right questions that help us gain a shift in perspective that was previously missing."

"I am fortunate to love my work and feel grateful to have worked with wonderful individuals, couples and families over the last 20 years. I enjoy working with a range of issues ie. depression, anxiety, poor body image, addiction, trauma related to early family life, abuse, neglect and trauma related to an accident, illness, or combat. Life moves fast and I believe many suffer from a feeling of disconnection because of a diminished sense of community. By better caring for ourselves and sharing the emotional load of life, we often feel more connected to ourselves and others."

"Each of us has the capacity to be fully alive. Something may be keeping you from being fully yourself, whether it is anxiety, fear, shame, guilt, difficulties with work or relationships, past traumas, illness, loss or abuse. I am here to address these obstacles with you so you can move toward living a full life. I am interested in helping you heal. When we view the obstacles compassionately as parts of you that are acting in extreme ways or carrying burdens, they begin to relax and learn to trust your Self. Then they become assets to a healthy life."

"My practice with couples and individuals is non-traditional. I believe in shorter term treatment, longer sessions weeks apart, giving homework, encouraging individuals to attend workshops where they learn new behavioral skills and insights. This results in more satisfaction and encourages each individual to incorporate a relational practice.
I have studied with many great teachers during my 20 year career. The ones who most influence how I work today are: Pia Mellody, RN (5 Core Self Skills), Terry Real, LICSW (Relational Life Therapy), Brugh Joy, (Heart Centering Work), Jon Kabat-Zinn,(Mindfulness Practice), and Peter Levine (Somatic Experiencing Trauma work)."
